Sugarcane bagasse fibers are extracted and transformed into a spinnable form, making them ideal for yarn production used in woven and knitted fabrics. These yarns are incorporated into various products, such as home textiles, décor items, and bags. This advancement is driven by technologies developed by the DOST-Philippine Textile Research Institute, which holds four registered utility models for the use of sugarcane bagasse fibers in yarn production.  

Here are the utility models that have been registered:

• Method for the Pretreatment of Sugarcane Bagasse Fibers for Textile Yarn Production
• Pretreated Sugarcane Bagasse Fibers for Textile Yarn Production
• Method of Producing Cotton-Sugar Cane Bagasse Blended Ring Spun Yarn
• Cotton-Sugar Cane Bagasse Blended Ring Spun Yarn
